Workshop provides training on being a supportive ally

More than 450 SAFE allies have been trained since the program started at Duke; most are faculty and staff members. Participants attend two 90-minute workshops and learn how to support LGBT people about coming out or dealing with homophobic or anti-gay people. Allies also learn when and how to make a referral to a counselor and where to report harassment.

Allies can be actively supportive in many day-to-day situations, Long said.
